Life Extension Children's Formula Life Extension Mix™ - 18 Essential Vitamins & Minerals for Growing Kids

Life Extension has been a trusted name in science-backed nutrition since 1980, pioneering research-driven formulations for optimal health. Their Children's Formula Life Extension Mix™ brings this legacy of excellence to young Bangladeshis aged 4 and above, offering a comprehensive multivitamin foundation during critical growth years. Priced transparently at ৳4,450 for 120 chewable tablets in Bangladesh, this berry-flavored supplement delivers pharmaceutical-grade nutrients without added sucrose—now available across Dhaka, Chittagong, and nationwide through Somvranto's authentic supply chain.

What Makes Life Extension Children's Formula Different from Other Kids' Multivitamins?

Life Extension applies the same rigorous scientific standards to their children's formula as their adult supplements, a rarity in the pediatric nutrition market. Unlike generic children's multivitamins that use synthetic fillers and excessive sugars, this formulation contains premium-quality ingredients including methylcobalamin (bioavailable B12), chelated minerals (TRAACS® certified for superior absorption), and L-selenomethionine (organic selenium). The berry flavor comes from natural cherry, vanilla, and strawberry extracts—not artificial sweeteners.

The formula is sweetened with xylitol and stevia instead of sucrose, addressing parental concerns about dental health and blood sugar spikes common with traditional chewable vitamins. Each batch undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency, with certificates of analysis available upon request. Life Extension's non-GMO commitment and allergen-conscious manufacturing (no gluten, dairy, or soy) set this product apart in Bangladesh's growing supplement market.

Parents in Bangladesh often face a dilemma: imported brands with unclear sourcing or local products with questionable quality control. Life Extension bridges this gap with FDA-registered manufacturing facilities in the USA and transparent ingredient sourcing. The 120-tablet bottle provides a 60-day supply at the recommended dosage, offering better value per serving than smaller-count competitors while maintaining stability in Bangladesh's humid climate through advanced encapsulation technology.

Key Health Benefits & Why Bangladesh Children Need Comprehensive Nutrition

Research published in nutrition journals reveals that Bangladeshi children face specific micronutrient gaps due to rice-heavy diets and limited access to diverse food sources in urban areas. A 2021 study found that 40% of school-age children in Dhaka showed suboptimal vitamin D levels, while zinc and iron deficiencies remain prevalent across socioeconomic groups. Life Extension Children's Formula addresses these gaps with 10 mcg of vitamin D3 (400 IU), 10 mg of chelated zinc, and a full spectrum of B-vitamins supporting energy metabolism.

Supports Healthy Growth & Development: The formula contains 1050 mcg RAE of beta-carotene (vitamin A) supporting vision development and immune function, particularly important during Bangladesh's monsoon season when respiratory infections peak. Vitamin D3 works synergistically with 50 mg of magnesium to support bone mineralization during rapid growth phases between ages 4-12.

Encourages Cognitive Function & Academic Performance: Emerging research suggests that multivitamin/mineral supplementation may support healthy attention spans and behavioral regulation in school-age children. The inclusion of 6 mcg methylcobalamin (B12), 265 mcg DFE folate, and 2 mg vitamin B6 provides the neurological building blocks crucial for learning and memory formation. Iodine (150 mcg) from potassium iodide supports thyroid function, which regulates metabolism and brain development.

Enhances Immune Resilience: With 120 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and 25 mcg of selenium (L-selenomethionine), this formula helps maintain healthy immune responses. The addition of 5 mg trans-lutein and 155 mcg trans-zeaxanthin from marigold extract supports eye health—increasingly relevant as screen time rises among Bangladeshi children for online education.

Fills Nutritional Gaps from Processed Foods: Busy urban families often rely on convenient packaged foods lacking essential micronutrients. A daily supplement acts as nutritional insurance, providing the vitamins and minerals that might be missing from breakfast cereals, school lunches, or quick dinners. The formula includes often-overlooked nutrients like biotin (300 mcg), pantothenic acid (10 mg), and molybdenum (20 mcg) supporting metabolic pathways that convert food into usable energy.

Product Specifications & What's Inside Each Chewable Tablet

Active Ingredients (Per 2-Tablet Serving)

Full Ingredient List & Allergen Information

Other Ingredients: Xylitol (natural sweetener), microcrystalline cellulose (binding agent), natural beet color, natural flavors (cherry, vanilla, strawberry), stearic acid (vegetable source), citric acid (tartness), gum arabic (texture), silica (anti-caking), dicalcium phosphate (flow agent), luo han guo extract (monk fruit sweetener), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (coating), maltodextrin, corn starch, stevia extract.

Purity & Safety Standards

Life Extension manufactures in FDA-registered facilities following current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Each batch undergoes:

• Heavy metal testing (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic)
• Microbiological screening (bacteria, yeast, mold)
• Potency verification (label claim accuracy)
• Dissolution testing (ensuring proper nutrient release)

Products are third-party tested with certificates of analysis available. The absence of sucrose prevents tooth decay, a critical consideration for chewable supplements taken daily.

How to Use Children's Formula Life Extension Mix™ - Dosage & Timing

Recommended Dosage:

• Children 4-8 years: Chew 2 tablets daily with food
• Children 9 years and older: Chew 2 tablets daily with food (may consult healthcare provider for adjusted dosing)
• Children under 4 years: Consult pediatrician before use

Best Time to Take: Administer with breakfast or lunch for optimal absorption. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E) absorb better when taken with meals containing healthy fats (eggs, nuts, fish, or cooking oils commonly used in Bangladeshi cuisine like mustard or soybean oil). The 120-tablet bottle provides a 60-day supply at the standard dosage.

Tips for Parents:

• Establish a consistent daily routine (same time each day) to build the supplement habit
• Let children chew tablets thoroughly rather than swallowing whole
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (avoid kitchen heat in Bangladeshi climate)
• Keep bottle tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption in humid conditions
• Use within 12 months of opening for maximum potency

Who Should Consult a Healthcare Provider First:

• Children with diagnosed medical conditions requiring prescription medications
• Those with known allergies to any ingredient (check full list above)
• Children scheduled for surgery (vitamin E may affect clotting)
• If child is taking other supplements to avoid exceeding upper intake levels

The berry flavor is generally well-accepted by children, but if your child refuses chewables, the tablets can be crushed and mixed into a small amount of yogurt, applesauce, or smoothie (do not heat, as vitamins degrade with temperature).

Price, Value & Availability in Bangladesh

Transparent Pricing

Current Price: ৳4,450 for 120 chewable tablets (60-day supply at standard dosage)

Cost Per Serving: ৳74.17 per daily dose – competitive for a premium children's multivitamin with chelated minerals and active B-vitamin forms. Generic brands may cost ৳30-50 per serving but typically use lower-quality ingredients like zinc oxide (14% absorption) versus zinc bisglycinate (61% absorption).

Value Comparison: When evaluating children's multivitamins, consider cost per bioavailable nutrient rather than price alone. Life Extension uses methylcobalamin (B12) instead of cheaper cyanocobalamin, requiring no conversion in the body. The inclusion of lutein, zeaxanthin, and CoQ10—rarely found in children's formulas—justifies the premium positioning. A 120-count bottle offers better value than 60-count options requiring monthly reordering.

No Hidden Costs: Somvranto includes all import duties and taxes in the listed price. Many online sellers advertise low base prices but add customs fees, delivery charges, or "handling fees" at checkout. With Somvranto, ৳4,450 is your total investment.
